The National Hockey League has announced a deal with NextVR to exclusively use its services for virtual reality highlights at 2019 marquee events.
The partnership kicked off with NextVR producing a virtual reality experience captured at the 2019 NHL All-Star Game last weekend, where the league also separately tested its new puck and player tracking system. Available for free on a new NHL channel within the NextVR app, digital highlights were produced by NextVR in a 3D stereoscopic VR format.
“NHL fans are passionate and always on the look-out for more action and adrenaline,” said Danny Keens, NextVR’s vice president of content.
